Skipton Girls High School - Refurbishment of Biology Labs

Hopley’s won a competitive tender through JMP Architects (Settle) for internal refurbishment works of the biology labs and school kitchen at Skipton Girls High School.

The works consisted of: carefully removing the existing laboratory fixtures and fittings; fitting a new floor; re-decorating; and supplying and fix new laboratory furniture.

The other element of the works included the removal of the old kitchen, fittings and equipment, and fitting out the refurbished school kitchen with new equipment.

Sedbergh School – Refurbishment of Swimming Pool Changing Rooms

Hopley’s were appointed by JMP Architects, to carry out refurbishment of the swimming pool changing rooms at Sedbergh School.

Works involved stripping out the existing changing rooms, excavating floors, installing under floor heating, new showers and changing areas, installation of an air handling unit system, replacement of trusses, new roof including patent glazed sections, solar panel installation, and entrance ramps.

Works were mostly carried out during term time, G I Hopley Ltd therefore had to make sure there was minimal disruption to the surrounding area whilst building works were carried out.

The refurbishment was completed successfully in January 2014.

Sutton in Craven Community Primary School – Disabled adaptions

Hopley’s successfully won a competitive tender for disabled adaptations and the refurbishment of Sutton in Craven Community School procured through JE Jacobs North Allerton.

The contract was funded by North Yorkshire County Council and the main focus of the works was to alter the reception area; staff offices and toilets.

We carefully removed the internal walls in the reception area and staff offices and reconstructed the internal layout of the area to offer extra private office space and better reception area.

The secondary element of the works was to construct two disabled ramps out of re-claimed stone to the two outside entrances and in addition to the contract we converted the cellar into additional storage for the school, which involved flagging the original earth floor and tanking the walls.

Darul Uloom Secondary School – MUGA Pitch

Hopley’s were selected to construct a Multi Use Games Area at Darul Uloom Secondary School, Bolton.

A MUGA pitch is intended to give students the opportunity to play sports at any time of day and in all weather conditions.

The Pitch requires very little maintenance as it benefits from galvanised and powder coated mesh panels and UV resistant roof netting.
